Unhappy unfortunately . . . . . . . . .

Inderal will probably help half to three-quarters of migraine sufferers
That is probably true, but unfortunately

I suspect that they don't have a list of "banned" medications
isn't - they do, and, even worse, PROPRANOLOL is one of them !
(Inderal-LA and Half-Inderal-LA are brands of Propranolol). Almost all the other beta-blockers are deemed OK, especially for treating things like hypertension, but propranolol is considered to have almost psychotropic effects. Remember that it is frequently used as an anxiolytic.

Sorry if this isn't quite what you were hoping to hear.
